Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2
Place the cauliflower, red grapes, red onion, and 2 whole garlic cloves on the pan. Add 30 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil, 15 ml (1 tbsp) balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
3
Roast the vegetables and grapes for 15 minutes at 220 °C / 425 °F.
4
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season the chicken thighs with sweet paprika, the remaining salt, the remaining black pepper, and the lemon zest.
5
In a small bowl, mix the honey, the remaining 15 ml (1 tbsp) balsamic vinegar, 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil, the chopped fresh rosemary, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 15 ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice.
6
Remove the pan from the oven and push the cauliflower, grapes, and onion to the edges to make space in the center. Place the chicken on the pan and brush it with about two-thirds of the glaze.
7
Bake for 20 more minutes at 220 °C / 425 °F. Open the oven, turn the chicken over, and spoon the remaining glaze over the top. Continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned.
8
Transfer the roasted cauliflower and whole roasted garlic cloves from the pan to a blender or food processor. Add the Greek yogurt and warm chicken broth. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
9
To serve, spread a layer of warm cauliflower cream on each plate. Top with the glazed chicken and finish with the roasted grapes and caramelized red onion from the pan.
10
Serve immediately, spooning over any pan juices for extra shine and flavor.

Chef tips

For a deeper golden finish, switch on the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes at the end, watching closely so the honey does not burn. The cauliflower cream blends best when the broth is warm.

Substitutions

You can swap the thighs for chicken breasts, adjusting the time so they do not dry out. Greek yogurt can be replaced with crème fraîche for a richer result. Red grapes can be replaced with black grapes.
